This cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the self-care behaviors of patients with cardiovascular diseases in the heart center of Mazandaran province in 2015. The data collection tool was a two-part questionnaire. The first part of the questionnaire was demographic information (age, sex, level of education, duration of hospitalization, occupation, disease diagnosis, hospitalization department, and marital status). The second part included a 12-question European Heart Failure Self Care Behavior questionnaire, each item of which is graded from 1 to 5 based on a Likert scale. A total of 268 cardiovascular patients participated in this study. The mean age of patients was 58.37 (SD=11.95). Among the participants, 52.61% were male, 86.19% were married, and 65.67% were literate. Hypertension was present in 52.61% of them and the average duration of cardiovascular disease in them was 5.10 (SD=4.39). The mean of self-care was 29.00 (SD=6.76). 141 people (52.61%) had good self-care behaviors, 121 people (45.15%) had moderate self-care behaviors, and 6 people (2.24%) had poor self-care behaviors. In the context of the relationship between demographic variables and self-care behaviors, no statistically significant relationship was observed (P>0.05). The most self-care behaviors were related to going to the doctor or health centers in case of shortness of breath, taking medicines as recommended by the doctor, allocating enough time to rest, and the least self-care behaviors were related to regular exercise, influenza vaccine injection, and easy handling in case of shortness of breath. Therefore, teaching patients about the importance and how to perform self-care behaviors is very effective in promoting these behaviors and as a result, reducing mortality and hospitalization costs, and nurses play an important role in teaching these behaviors.","PeriodicalId":117016,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nursing Reports in Clinical Practice","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123042687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The studies revealed that Iranian nurses working in intensive care units (ICUs), cardiac care units (CCUs), neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), and dialysis units had average moral sensitivity. Factors related to moral sensitivity in Iranian critical care nurses were divided into demographic and moral-professional factors. Demographic factors related to moral sensitivity in Iranian critical care nurses included age, average weekly working hours, work history and clinical experience, gender, marital status, education level, type of work shift, workplace sector, and employment status. Demographic factors related to moral sensitivity in Iranian critical care nurses included respecting the patient's rights, moral intelligence, compassion fatigue, communication with the patient, the dimension of professional knowledge, moral tension, work conscience, virtual training, moral principles in a narrative style, critical care unit nurses require high benevolence, professional knowledge, and skills in delivering bad news. They must also know the history of passing moral courses, handling moral distress, and heavy mental workload. Based on these nurses' moderate moral sensitivity, medical center managers should focus on increasing their moral sensitivity by addressing related factors.","PeriodicalId":117016,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nursing Reports in Clinical Practice","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130984368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this regard, to improve the quality of nursing care during dialysis, several approaches were developed to enhance hemodialysis adequacy and prevent complications; however, machine learning (ML) emerged as a methodological approach for evaluating hemodialysis adequacy and complications. The current study aims to analyze ML approach in predicting and managing hemodialysis by R programming language analysis to provide a therapeutic concept for hemodialysis management in critical nursing care. An R programming language was used to perform the logical analysis of the data. ML algorithms based on usage rate included logistic regression (LR), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), Random Forest (RF), Complement Naive Bayes (CNB), Takagi-Sugeno-Kang fuzzy system (G-TSK-FS), k-nearest neighbors' classifier (KNN), Stochastic gradient descent (SGD), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), and Multi-adaptive neural-fuzzy system (MANFIS). Also, the use of ML in nursing care during hemodialysis is categorized into three indications for predicting hemodialysis adequacy, complications, and vascular access performance. Using ML in hemodialysis nursing care is a growing research interest. The main application areas are the prediction of hemodialysis adequacy, complications, and vascular access performance. LR and SVM are practical ML algorithms for constructing AI tools to improve hemodialysis management.","PeriodicalId":117016,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nursing Reports in Clinical Practice","volume":"50 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130910716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 262 nurses were included in this research. The mean of the total organizational justice score and the components of job burnout including emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment scores were 52.38 (SD=16.04), 36.64 (SD=11.05), 14.28 (SD=4.9), and 65.64 (SD=5.98), respectively. The results related to the level of organizational justice showed that the lowest mean score was obtained in the distributive justice dimension of organizational justice, while the highest mean score was obtained in the interactional justice dimension. The Pearson correlation coefficient indicated a negative and significant correlation between organizational justice and the number of overtime hours per month (r=-0.16, P=0.012). The results of the present study show that organizational justice has a significant effect on the occurrence of job burnout among nurses, and nursing service managers should adhere to justice and apply it in the organization to reduce job burnout and increase nurses' trust, commitment, satisfaction, motivation, and performance.","PeriodicalId":117016,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nursing Reports in Clinical Practice","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131110249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After screening the titles, abstracts, and full texts and eliminating duplicate studies, 22 articles were selected for this review, and further data were extracted for analysis. The prevalence of chronophobia was different in different studies. Factors related to chronophobia in nursing included job burnout, department type, psychological well-being, and organizational and professional relocation. The prevalence of corona phobia seems to be high among healthcare professionals (HCWs), especially nurses. The burnout level of HCWs, the kind of job, the ward they work in, psychological well-being, and organizational and professional turnover intention are related to corona phobia.","PeriodicalId":117016,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nursing Reports in Clinical Practice","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129538392","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Experimental studies published in Persian and English focusing on effective interventions for the improvement of moral sensitivity among nurses were included. The standard of the studies that qualified for inclusion was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute critical assessment criteria. A total of 520 nurses were enrolled in eight studies. Of the nurses, 78.37% were female and 55% were in the intervention group. The mean age of participants was 34.74 (SD=5.65) years. Mean study duration, intervention, and follow-up were 10.38, 5.59, and 7.20 weeks, respectively. Seven educational interventions including \"nursing ethics workshop\" (two studies), \"nursing ethics workshop using narration and lecture\", \"Moral sensitivity workshop\", \"ethical motivational educational program”, \"virtual narrative ethics workshop\", and \"empowerment educational program\", improved moral sensitivity in nurses. However, the \"nursing ethics workshop using seminar\" was not effective in the management of moral sensitivity in nurses. The evidence for the positive effects of educational interventions on nurses' moral sensitivity was sparse but encouraging. However, there is a need for further studies to confirm the effectiveness of these interventions on nurses' moral sensitivity.","PeriodicalId":117016,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nursing Reports in Clinical Practice","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128204191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
